A woman obsessed with K-pop group BTS has been caught trying to break into band member Jungkook's home just hours after he completed military service.

The Chinese woman in her 30s was seen punching random numbers on a combination lock outside Jungkook's apartment in Seoul at about 23:20 local time (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday, police said.

She had confessed to flying into Korea to see the singer, but ended up getting arrested for trespassing.

Jungkook, along with three other bandmates, were discharged from mandatory military service this week, prompting fan frenzy and increasing anticipation for a possible comeback.

All seven BTS members are set to be discharged from the military by the end of this month and their agency Hybe has hinted at a reunion.
